I don't care what it takes. Pay that man. Give him pause about going pro. Open up the fucking wallet and make him the highest paid coach in the universe. The Ducks have hit #1 in two out of his four seasons with Oregon. PAY THAT MAN.
You'd have to think they could easily compete with an NFL team, since they don't have to pay their players.
I don't know what it would cost, but money is no object. He's up there with the best coaches in college football, and we need to keep him here. Fuck the pro game. Give him a lifetime contract and make him the highest paid coach in college sports.
Chip needs a few national championship rings before the NFL players will take him seriously! That matters more than what NFL team wants him! It's the respect of the players that play for him. He's a great coach, but he needs some hardware first!!! Phil needs to keep him here another 4 years and then he can go to the Patriots once Bill retires!
